BAND 2009 May Norwich |
A five piece folk band based in Norfolk, performs mainly English folk music—reels, hornpipes and punchy marches. We love their step hops. A regular favourite at KH ceilidhs. | Contact: 01263 577885 |
| SHUFFLEWING 2008 Dec Norwich |
The recent revival of interest in old Norfolk tunes
spawned a Session at the 'Nelson' in
Norwich led by Chris Holderness in 2004. He had to drop out but the evening
continued and itself spawned an early Beginners' Hour'.
This has developed through several
moves, but with a regular nucleus, into a band
that has taken over the whole evening there, and now plays for Harvest
Suppers, Posh Teas, Bar Mitzvas and Dances. Norfolk tunes (whatever that may
mean) still form the bulk of their repertoire though, and a few local songs
have crept in too. |
